Who would have thought that Conrad was not only thoughtful and gentle but also somehow already knew how to treat a younger sister carefully?
The atmosphere gradually became less tense.
However, after a few moments of silence, Conrad suddenly looked at her seriously.
"First of all, I want to apologize."
Hearing those words, Lana was visibly taken aback.
Conrad lowered his eyes slightly before continuing.
"I know this is extremely irresponsible on our family's part."
His voice became heavier afterward.
"We never even realized that you existed, and because of that, you suffered alone for so many years."
Lana instinctively wanted to refute his words.
However, after opening her mouth slightly, she quietly closed it again.
Instead, she simply smiled faintly. "It does not matter anymore."
Her voice sounded calm and gentle. "I still lived a decent life anyway."
After all, Lana had long stopped expecting emotional warmth from family members.
